Kukla's Korner Hockey

But he won’t be hunting alone in this forest. The Detroit Red Wings are very much in the discussions about Forsberg, who has a no-trade clause. The Red Wings will be appealing to Forsberg because of their strong collection of Swedish players and their opportunity to win the Stanley Cup. It seems as if Anaheim and Detroit are the top two contenders for Forsberg.
If Detroit doesn’t land Forsberg, GM Ken Holland will be after Bertuzzi. They are going to land a forward or two to improve their offense, although the Red Wings’ goal scoring numbers, weak at the start of the season, now suddenly have climbed back to third in the Western Conference. Bertuzzi would also give the team some beef, lacking since Brendan Shanahan’s departure.
